Bloomberg campaign says Trump team is taking 2016 remarks about farmers out of context
Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg is under fire over 2016 remarks appearing to belittle farmers, factory jobs; Ellison Barber reports from Henderson, Nevada.
While promoting a $127 million, three-year initiative to help minorities in the workplace in 2011, then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared that there's "this enormous cohort of black and Latino males" who "don't know how to behave in the workplace" and "don't have any prospects."
The head-turning comments in a resurfaced interview were just the latest headache for the multibillionaire's campaign. In the past week, Bloomberg has been confronted with his previous claims that farming doesn't take much intelligence and that "anybody" could do it, as well as his insistence that the way to get guns "out of the kids' hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them." Additionally, Bloomberg has taken heat for suggesting that a functioning health care system must let the elderly die.
